Carroll found guilty of violating lobbying law

Former top Liberal Party official Jamie Carroll has been found guilty of violating Canada’s federal lobbying law.

In a ruling handed down April 8, Justice Diane Lahaie found that Carroll failed to report work he did on behalf of an Ottawa health centre to Canada’s lobbying commissioner within the time frame outlined in the law.

Carroll is scheduled to learn his sentence April 27. He faces the possibility of a hefty fine or even jail time.

Michael Johnston, lawyer for Carroll said they will contemplate the possibility of an appeal.
